Week 2: #NSNation ~ Vacation With Nutrisystem!

This week I was away from home for 7 days! I don’t know what I would have done if I didn’t have Nutrisystem! From past experience I know I can over treat myself to goodies while on vacation (and typically come come 5-7 pounds heavier). So in preparation for being away, I packed a bag FULL of Nutrisystem products to help me NOT gain tons of weight on vacation. I had 7 mini bottles of water to make my shakes on-the-go. I brought 7 breakfast, 7 lunches, 7 dinners… and of course 7 desserts. It made our trip to Legoland and camping a breeze.

The only problem I found while trying to implement Nutrisystem into our Legoland trip was that our hotel room lacked a microwave! I’m sure I could have asked them to heat up a few of my meals, but I opted to eat a snack bar or one that needed hot water (thank goodness for complementary coffee machines in the rooms!).

Nutrisystem and camping go hand-in-hand! I was able to mimic many of the meals my mom had prepared for us. For example I had a chicken salad sandwich and they had chicken and/or steak sandwiches. I did skip a few of my Nutrisystem desserts for Sangria and Strawberry Fluff Cake.

So how did I do? I only gained 0.8 lbs! Not too shabby! I did walk a lot at Legoland and took a few hikes up the hill while camping, but I didn’t deny myself some of the vacation treats I like to have! What I did right is I ate my Nutrisystem meals instead of gorging on all the snacks & meals that the rest of my family ate. I was able to indulge in a few favorites, add some of the sides that the rest of the family had to round off my meals, and have fun!

My Goal for this week is to get back to my regular exercise routine (which might be difficult due to the weather…it is going to be HOT this week) and get below 160 lbs.

Tip of the Week: Plan, pre-portion & be prepared. If you know you have a party to go to or have a vacation coming up, package up a few healthy snacks to get you through. .

Thanks to Nutrisystem, I made it through Legoland & camping without gaining tons of weight.
